  • Patent number: 10127611
    Abstract: A method and system for the determination of optimal pricing and allocation of securities in an open, competitive environment. The method and system may also be used in developing pre-markets of other items that are difficult to price and allocate in a competitive manner, such as the underwriting/securitization of contracts for property; future revenue/earning streams from an asset and/or group of assets; underwritten insurance portfolios, intellectual property and other goods and services. The system of price optimization and allocation is accomplished by interactive feedback of information using a display and including competitive participation of individual members of the public (and/or their agents) or institutional buyers over a data network e.g., the Internet, uncovering the nature and identification of demand in a self-organizing fashion. Demand emerges through participants' interaction with the system and with each other, via a graphically-supported, interactive reservation process.

  • Publication number: 20140289090
    Abstract: Systems, methods and/or programmed products that can be used for configuring and/or modifying offerings as well as aspects of offerings using participated and/or accepted offer units, related groups of offer units, variables associated with groups of offer units, pricing scales, premiums, discounts, and/or discounts based on aggregated accepted volume, to name a few. The configurable and/or modifiable offerings can include one or more groups of offerings comprising a plurality of offer units. When all of the offer units are participated and/or accepted, then participated and/or accepted offer units at a lower price point and/or having a less desirable variable can be replaced by other accepted for requests to participate having a higher price point and/or more desirable variable.
